Mrs. Brindos, daughter-in-law of Anne Fatigate, has recently been diagnosed with primary pulmonary hypertension, a debilitating and rare disease of unknown cause that results in the progressive narrowing of the blood vessels of the lungs, causing high blood pressure in the blood vessels, eventually leading to heart failure.

The fundraiser will feature live music by Spotted Lucy, door prizes, a cash bar, and a great food Crock-pot cook-off contest. Tickets are $20 for adults, $10 for children younger than 12, and free for children under 5.

For those who cannot attend, contributions of any amount are welcome, payable to: National Foundation of Transplants, Tax ID #58-1527254, and mail to the attention of: Anne Fatigate, 7 Spring Road, Bethlehem, CT, 06751.

The VFW Hall is at 11 Avery Hall in New Milford. For tickets or information, call (203) 266-5891 or email annefatigate@sbcglobal.net.
